Never Create By Law What Can Be

Brutes Are Deprived Of The High Advantages Which We Have; But They Have Some Which We Have Not. They Have Not Our Hopes, But Theyare Without Our Fears; They Are Subject Like Us To Death, But Without Knowing It; Even Most Of Them Are More Attentive Than We To Self-preservation, And Do Not Make So Bad A Use Of Their Passions.

If You Would Be Holy, Instruct Your Children, Because All The Good Acts They Perform Will Be Imputed To You.

Luxury Ruins Republics; Poverty, Monarchies.

The False Notion Of Miracles Comes Of Our Vanity, Which Makes Us Believe We Are Important Enough For The Supreme Being To Upset Nature On Our Behalf.

The Less Luxury There Is In A Republic, The More It Is Perfect.
